Fluoroscopy usage is a common component of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement. A surgeon's usage of fluoroscopy (and the subsequent radiation exposure) can decrease over time, as that surgeon gets comfortable with a technique. However, techniques can and usually do change as a surgeon gets increasing experience, and fluoroscopic usage may increase or decrease with different techniques. The term "steep learning curve" should be abandoned, because this term can mean either arduous or easy, depending on context.
